Hillary attack on The Donald

It
is interesting to hear Hillary Clinton with her stump speeches as she complains
about Donald Trump. Her visceral rants against The Donald include what she sees
as a negative she needs to point out to her base voters hoping they will swing
the election her way. The issues: Hillary says regarding illegal immigration
Donald Trump is wanting to build a fence to keep people out of America so they
will not be able to live the life of opportunity in the United States. She says he wants to ban Muslims from entering into the country
until they can be vetted, and he wants to bring back the practice of water
boarding as a form of torture.

It
is interesting that Hillary is putting the target on Donald for her people to
see just what kind of candidate he is. She says he is not qualified to be the
President of the United States. Her histrionic speeches direct her base voters
to listen to him and reject him for what he represents.

The
problem with the approach Hillary has chosen seems counterproductive to her
quest. The issues she has picked to castigate him are part of his arsenal that
he used to dispatch sixteen other rivals during the nomination process. He has
garnered more votes from the voters who participated in the nomination cycle
than any other candidate in history. With the issues Hillary wants to criticize
Donald for will be showcased to her voter base, some of whom will be scratching
their heads as to why she is being critical of those positions. It will give them
an opportunity to contrast those issues with her positions which are exactly
opposite of his. The obvious exposure of this contrast will inexorably link her
to a third term of the Obama Administration.

What
her arguments actually do is showcase her lack of judgment even when choosing
issues by which to attack her opponent. Those issues have thus far been winners
for him through the support of millions of voters. Will she use the same mode
of judgment in her tenure as President?
